At the age of 12, he was reformed through labor in Taozhuang Bay

In autumn, the dust dyes the sky orange.

Where have the people of the whole troupe seen such a big formation, Mu Xizhang, secretary of the prefectural party committee and county magistrate, personally held a criticism meeting, and everyone in the troupe was like frost, listless. I was more like a fiery red steel that had been burned, and it was quenched in ice water, they criticized and fought, and I slept with my head covered, faintly listening to Chairman Mao's speech at the Yan'an Literary and Art Forum. The meeting lasted for a whole month, and I slept for a month.

The result of the meeting was that all the members of the Communist Youth League who beat people were punished, and the punishment they received was that the whole regiment was sent to the countryside for labor reform for one month!

I was assigned to work in the countryside in Taozhuang Bay, where I ate, lived, and worked with the local peasants, ate millet and sauerkraut, lived in a cave with scorpions, and built terraced fields in an environment of minus 26 degrees. In the evening, the teacher staged a play on the kang in the cave, [a bag of brown sugar], I only remember one sentence, the hole is small and not repaired, and it is bigger than five feet. Early in the morning, I practiced handstand in front of the cave, one hand stood upright on the frozen ground at minus 26 degrees, and in two minutes, I was sweating profusely, but my hands were numb, and when I left the ground, one hand was imprinted on the ground, which was a deep red color.

After breakfast, my task was to fetch water, lead the donkey to the yard in the donkey ring, put on two large wooden buckets, and drive to the bottom of the ditch with a whip in my hand, about 3 miles away, there is a spring at the bottom of the ditch, and use a small wooden bucket to draw water, only half a bucket at a time, and pour it into the big bucket on the donkey, which requires many buckets to be filled. When I pour water, the water splashes on my black striped shirt and immediately turns into white ice. I drove the donkey back to the cave, let the adults unload the water, and then I got on the donkey, and the donkey would run back to the donkey pen happily! I almost fell off the donkey's back! It was exciting and fun.

In the afternoon, when I went to the construction site to pull soil and repair the terraces, Captain Qiao looked at me and said, you give everyone a waist, and you don't have to work if you perform, I will go down to the waist, and I will be cheered, and I will complete the labor transformation!

At night, it was very quiet, my brother Wenhu sat with me and watched the stars, and every time he let out a fart, he asked me to count, snort, 1, suck,------ 2 guess how many farts I counted in total? 13 of them! We laughed to death! This is the only time we are happy! I actually laughed at a fart!

Sleeping on the kang at night, I only heard Teacher Han shouting, Ah! Turning over the mattress, a thumb-sized scorpion rushed towards my teacher with its big hook, and the teacher slapped it to death! Fortunately, the scorpion did not patronize me, but my black sweater was crawling with small animals, and their white children, they gathered and attacked my skin!
